"I was thinking, 'How are they going to make a design out of a vegetable?'" All-Star gymnast and Olympic gold medalist Nastia Liukin told the Daily News.

As the lights dimmed, the first model laced in lettuce-looking ruffles donned a fierce olive green frock followed by a red haute tomato-inspired dress.

Next, a banana pepper-clad model worked the runway in a lime-green high-low dress that had the front row doing a double take.

"My favorite was the onion, but my second favorite was the banana pepper; we were torn between the too!" says Liukin, whose go-to Subway order is a 6-inch turkey sandwich on flatbread with cucumbers and banana peppers.
